Immerse yourself in the world of olive oil by witnessing the entire production process from start to finish. Begin with a visit to our picturesque olive grove to learn about our olives, then follow their journey to the mill where they are transformed into exquisite oil. Complete your experience with an exclusive tasting session of our four distinct varieties: Picual, Arbequina, Frantoio, and Hojiblanca. Discover the unique flavors and characteristics of each, and gain a deeper appreciation for olive oil production.
Our complete tour mimics the order of the production of olive oil, starting from the harvest and ending with the bottling. We begin the tour with the Casa Del Agua olive grove, your guide will meet you inside the mill or at the entrance. The grove is only a 2-minute walk away from the mill making it very accessible. In this tour we aim to explain all aspects related to the care, harvest and characteristics of the Picual variety, we may be able to see some harvesting taking place, however, as this is done only once a year and the groves are very vast in size it can be hard to catch it in action, in any case we compensate by telling you everything that you want to know about the process. The tour of the grove takes approximately 30 minutes, don't forget your sunscreen and good shoes!
We continue our journey back to the mill where we transform our early harvest olives into premium extra virgin olive oil, a process that takes the olives through reception, cleaning, crushing and extraction, all of these steps are fully explained by our experienced guide. You will be impressed by our cellar where we decant and store our oil characterised by towering deposits and delicate aromas of olive oil. You will also get the chance to see our bottling facility that's running all year round.
Finally, we end our tour in the shop where you participate in a guided tasting of our four varieties: Picual, Arbequina, Frantoio, and Hojiblanca, each with unique characteristics and charm. Take yourself on a sensory exploration and expect your palate to be delighted by the diverse flavors and aromas of our premium olive oils.
